Wetherspoons has announced the details of its January offer as it prepares to slash prices in the new year.
The British pub group will be selling pints of beer for as little as £1.99, alongside deals on cocktails, coffee and food too.
Wetherspoons’ January sale will run for two weeks only from 2 January.
It means that punters will be able to get food and drink at their local Spoons for even less than normal (and it’s not exactly an expensive pub at the best of times).

Wetherspoons will be selling pints of Bud Light and Doom Bar for £1.99, while their ‘classic cocktails’ (espresso martini, Tommy’s margarita, strawberry daiquiri) will be just £2.99.
You’ll be able to buy a bottle of non-alcoholic Beck’s Blue for £1.49, and refillable Lavazza coffee, tea and hot chocolate for £1.29.
A bit low on cash after Christmas? How does a full English for less than £2 sound?
Wetherspoons’ small breakfast, which comes with a fried egg, bacon, sausage, baked beans and toast, will be just £1.99 during their January sale.
A selection of burgers will be reduced to less than a fiver with a soft drink, or £6.49 with an alcoholic drink.

Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: “Department stores and shops hold their sales in January, so it is the perfect time to have a sale in the pubs too.
“The range of drinks and food on sale in the pubs is aimed at suiting a wide variety of tastes. This year we have included our biggest selection of low and non-alcoholic drinks.
“I believe that the January Sale will prove popular with our customers. As always, staff at the pubs will serve customers responsibly.”

A much-loved independent restaurant in Leeds has announced it will be closing its doors.
Kuala Lumpur Cafe opened its doors in Headingley in 2019 by Bart and Hirman, who wanted to bring authentic Malaysian cooking to the city of Leeds.
Throughout the years, they'd built up a reputation for their beautiful curries and vibrant street food dishes, all of which were made using Hirman's family recipes.
So much so, that in 2024 they opened a kitchen inside White Cloth Hall in the city centre when the Grade II listed food hall first opened.
Their kitchen sadly closed a year later, but their Headingley restaurant remained open serving the students and locals with their famous beef rendang, nasi lemak and more.
Sadly, Kuala Lumpur Cafe have taken to social media to announce that they will be closing their doors for good as of this Saturday 17 October.
Their statement reads: "Thank you to all our customers and team that made Kuala Lumpur Cafe possible across the last few years. After a long consideration, we have decided that our last trading day will be Saturday 17 October.
"If you have a booking after this date, we'll be calling you over the next few days to try to move it to an earlier date before we close.
"It's been our pleasure to serve Malaysian food to the community. Best regards, KL Cafe."
Of course, in true Leeds fashion, local businesses and customers flocked to the comments to express their sadness and show their support.
One comment reads: "Such a shame. This was genuinely the best Malay food I had outside of Malaysia. Will be missed greatly", whilst another thanks the cafe for "all the delicious food over the years".
If you want to visit Kuala Lumpur Cafe one last time, then you have until this Saturday to do so. Go and wish them a proper farewell.
